A Pelosi aide told The Washington Examiner that the hearing — called "A Conversation on Race and Justice" — would include the Zimmerman verdict, along with a "broader conversation."

The acquittal of Zimmerman — a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old black teenager in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012 — has sparked widespread demonstrations and a national debate about racial profiling.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, will preside over the hearing, which will include Democrats from the party's Steering and Policy Committee.
